Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.

When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace, and death a duty.

Death is the great hope of all life; the desire to expend itself; to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself.

I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.

Our hope in life beyond death is a hope made possible, not by some general sentimental belief in life after death, but by our participation in the life of Christ.

So finally I came up with a thing that felt really pure, and I'm Christian, so when I hear about death I have a lot of hope because I believe in Jesus and life after death, and John 3:16.

I, Master John Hus, in chains and in prison, now standing on the shore of this present life and expecting on the morrow a dreadful death, which will, I hope, purge away my sins, find no heresy in myself, and accept with all my heart any truth whatsoever that is worthy of belief.

I think when you think of death as being part of the life cycle and recognize that death is an inevitability for our species because the world has to be renewed with each death, then the hope becomes when it is renewed it will be renewed by people on whom I have had some influence for good.
